VAT on education?

[carmanmemoranda]

It’s not a luxury good. And taxing something that has not previously been taxed makes people rethink

Of course its a luxury.

State education is available if you don't want the luxury choice

So where do you suggest the extra tax needed comes from? The poor ?

To avoid that, Tory policy is to reduce the quality and the cost of public services.

As we have all noticed.

Driving the nation into a run-down state of neglect.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

it'll come from us ALL

So those that want luxury should pay for it

It's tough out there. But if you want luxury then tax is justified

Like charities who own private gyms or run high street shops or exist for the benefit of only them and their members.

Better tell Nuffield health, the national trust and the hundreds of dodgy funds for me and my mates charities that exist.

Lots of abuses available doesn't make any of them right

A study of 35 people. Those who track the world’s wealthy say otherwise.

I think I know who is telling the truth.

Not to mention that given the top 1% pay 28% of all income tax. You don’t need to lose many before the tax loss starts to bite.

So far you posted an article that says 35 wealthy people won’t relocate to the Bahamas.

Meanwhile 1/4 of a million of ex pats base themselves in Dubai etc for tax reasons.

People who can afford to live anywhere want to live somewhere nice.

Not Dubai.

 

[motorbiking]

240,000 in Dubai don’t agree with you. Many will sit out the Labour government and then come back.

Labour’s so called tax black hole right there for the picking

Who do you have in mind.

Charity is for the benefit of others, fee paying schools for your own child is not charity, it's an abuse of the tax system.

Jeez it’s legally a charitable purpose
